I went home to Adelaide for Christmas and had the pleasure of drinking in five pubs.
On Saturday the 23rd the missus and I took my mum's shopping trolley and went to stock up on Christmas grog at the North Adelaide Village. With a case of Pale Ale, two sixers of Corona, four bottles of sparkling red, four bottles of other wine, two litres of Farmers Union Iced Coffee and two litres of orange juice, we set off on a rather circuitous route home.
We visited the Archer in O'Connell Street (not bad), the Dan O'Connell in Tynte Street (an "Irish" pub, so a bit dodgy) and the Wellington on Wellington Square (OK). Needless to say we achieved legendary status at each pub by sitting down for a drink with litres of grog in the trolley next to us.
On Christmas eve we visited the Austral, where I had an aged Coopers Sparkling Ale on tap, which was very nice, and the Exeter, where I had a stout on tap, again very nice. I also had a sip of the missus' Coopers Lager on tap, which was very, very nice.
I've bored you enough.
Cherio.
